Many white Afrikaners died fighting Nazis during World War II only to be later persecuted in South Africa. The under-reporting of this genocide is reminiscent of the Holodomor in Ukraine that occurred during the 1930s. The reporting by Walter Duranty during that time was equally abhorrent, especially by a PulitzerPrize-winning journalist.

It is obvious that white guilt will continue to drive the reporting on this subject. It is the responsibility of black leaders to condemn this activity to the extent that white leaders condemned apartheid. Otherwise, the double standard will only embolden the perpetrators of racial hatred.
